God of the Gamble

My name is Hope. I wear a cheap suit, I smile too much, and I tell terrible jokes. Most people look at me and see a clumsy clown. They think I’m weak. They think I’m an easy target. That is the last mistake they ever make. They don’t know that I cheat. I hold the Joker, a card that breaks all the rules. I don't just play the game; I rig it. When my enemies try to kill me, I make sure they roll "Snake Eyes." And when they lose? They don't just die. They fold into flat, paper cards. I keep them in my pocket. Step up to the table if you want. Just remember: The House always wins... and I am the House.
